Sven Botman will likely be Milan‘s first signing for 2022-23, but the priority for new owners Investcorp will be to get a new centre forward for Stefano Pioli.
La Gazzetta dello Sport provided the latest updates regarding negotiations between the Bahrain-based fund and Elliott. Investcorp hopes to finalise the deal by the end of the month and could put €300m on the table to strengthen the team in 2022-23. Lille’sSven Botman will be Milan’s first summer signing, but according to the same report, the priority for the new owners will be to buy a new centre forward.
Divock Origi is on the verge of reaching an agreement with the Rossoneri over a free move from Liverpool, but the Belgium international will likely be deployed as a right winger.
Gianluca Scamacca and Sebastian Haller are on Milan’s sights. The latter would be slightly more expensive as Ajax are looking for an offer in the region of €45m for their top scorer (33 goals in 38 appearances this term). According to reports in England, even Romelu Lukaku could be a reinforcement for the Rossoneri.
Jonathan David and Darwin Nunez had previously been linked with a move to San Siro, but they’d be even more expensive and Milan will know whether they can aspire to sign one of them only after learning the transfer budget for the upcoming transfer window.
Avanti tutta con Investcorp: la trattativa procede spedita. Rilancio europeo e mercato ricco https://t.co/KewLT61ZUU

Origi to be deployed as a right winger?? Honestly who comes up with this stuff? Origi on the right wing?
I don’t think I’ve ever seen him play right wing in all the years he’s been around.
@DB Milan
That’s because he never has LOL
@Rosario
Just got a reply from a Liverpool fan who confirmed he has never played right wing for them!
He’s a professional, he should be able to play in goal if asked.
I think hes a good goalkeeper
I’m hoping Origi plays up front, but I would like to see someone like a Darwin Nunez join Milan. Then these 2 could be our main strikers along with Giroud. I have been watching a few of Benfica games lately and Nunez looks the real deal.
So nothing actually revealed at all lol.
The wording of this nonsense is laughable.
If they do have money, Nunez would be worth getting, but expect him to go to England for now.
Not super interested in who else Milan bring in extra this coming summer. This coming market was always set to be a big one for Milan. All that matters is they sort out the stadium issue and hopefully start building their own, leaving Inter to rent the San Siro by themselves.
